The study looks at data from Norway's "disability insurance" (DI)
system and finds that when a parent is allowed DI, their adult
child's likelihood of participation over the next five years
increases by 6%, and grows to 12% after ten years.

According to the paper, this
likely happens because "parents on welfare can provide
information about the program to their children, reduce the
stigma of participation, or invest differentially in child
development." It finds that parents being on welfare is a cause
for the child being on welfare, not just a correlated
factor.

As a contrast, they find that children of parents who have
been denied welfare have only a 1% probability of being on
welfare as adults.

The researcher also found that
when parents are on welfare, the probability of the child working
or getting a college degree falls. Specifically, when a parent is
on welfare, the child is 7.7% less likely to be employed
full-time, and 8% less likely to get a college degree. Overall,
they are 13% less likely to be employed at
all.
